How To Play MULTIBET BLACKJACK

 We are introducing a new Blackjack game that will enable the player to place one or two initial wagers on the table if this has been enabled. Multibet blackjack is a game where the player controlling up to six hands at a time competes against the dealer. The game follows the standard rules of our regular BlackJack game.

If multibet has been enabled, the right ring is highlighted when the player starts playing. This ring is active and is ready to accept the wager. When the player has placed the first bet they could activate the left ring by clicking on it. The “Place another bet” arrow points to the empty and unmarked betting ring provided that the other ring has already received the wager. This is to remind the player that they can place another wager.

Note: The right betting ring is a default ring. When the player starts playing this ring is highlighted and ready to accept the wager. In subsequent games we highlight the ring that took the last wager.

MULTIBET BLACKJACK - Description and Objective
The objective of Blackjack is for a player to come as close to 21 without going over, while still having a higher number than the dealer. Prior to receiving any cards, the player must place a wager. Once the wager is made, the player is dealt two cards face up for each Blackjack game. The dealer is also dealt two cards. If the total value of the player’s cards is closer to 21 than the dealer, the player wins as much as he wagered. The player wins if the dealer goes over 21.

The following terminology is used in the play of the game:
Bet - the Player may make any wager(s) desired within the posted table limits.
Deal - the Player gets two cards face up for each Blackjack game and the Dealer gets two cards.
Blackjack – is achieved when first two cards total 21. Blackjack beats a score of 21 consisting of 3 or more cards.
Bust – is achieved when total value of cards for either the Dealer or the Player exceeds 21 resulting in a loss of the wager.
Push – is achieved when the value of the Dealer’s cards (from 17 to 21) and the Player’s cards are equal resulting in neither winning except in Face Up 21(please see specific Face Up 21 rules). It also results in the return of the Player’s wager.
Hit – Player desires another card to be dealt.
Stand – Player desires to keep hand dealt
Split – Player desires hand to be split two cards into separate hands.
Double – Player desires to double bet and receive another card.

Card Values
• Suits of the cards have no meaning in the game.
• Cards 2 through 10 are the face value.
• Jacks, Queens and Kings are all valued at 10.
• Aces can count as either 1 or 11 (except in the game of “Caribbean 21”where the Ace has a value of 1 only).

If the player has a hand that consists of a 6 and an Ace, he may either consider it at 17 or drop its value to 7. The Ace may count as 1 or 11. You may change the value of the Ace as the hand progresses.

MULTIBET BLACKJACK - Button Descriptions
Deal
Clicking on the deal button after placing a bet starts a new game.

Hit
Clicking on the hit button will deal the player an additional card.

Stand
Clicking on the stand button will keep the player’s hand at its current value.

Split
If the player’s first two cards are of the same value (i.e. 7, 7, or Q, K) he may split them into 2 separate hands, placing a second wager of equal value. The player then proceeds to draw cards as usual, with these exceptions:

If a player splits two aces, he receives only one additional card for each hand. A hand totaling 21 after splitting aces is considered 21, not Blackjack.

Double
When a player has been dealt two cards and believes that a third card will give him a position to beat the dealer’s hand, he can “double.” His wager is doubled, and he is allowed to hit and receive just one additional card.

Insurance
Insurance gives the player a chance to protect himself when he believes the dealer might have Blackjack. If the dealer’s first card is an ace, he is considered to have a fair chance of getting Blackjack. If the player believes the dealer’s hole card (face down) value is 10, the player may purchase insurance against dealer Blackjack at the price of half their initial bet. If the dealer does have Blackjack, the insurance pays 2 to 1, which corresponds to the amount of the initial bet. If the player has bought insurance and the dealer does not have Blackjack, the player loses his insurance. The player’s initial bet is then settled by comparing his cards with the dealer’s. If the dealer and the player both have Blackjack, the game results in a push.

In the multibet situation, we made it possible for the player to start playing immediately if they do not want to insure their hands. If the player placed two bets and dealer hand shows an Ace, we will show two “Insure” buttons. Buttons are located next to each bet. Insure button is placed into the blinking ring with arrow pointed to the respective bet. Yellow arrow denotes the active hand that can receive Split/Double/Hit/Stand command if the player chooses so. If the player hits Insure button, money will be taken from his account, placed to the insurance area and the respective Insure button will disappear. The game starts when either both insurances have been taken or the player clicks on one of play buttons.

Rebet
Multibet Blackjack is introducing the new re-bet functionality that will be adopted by other games. Re-bet button will combine two actions: place the last bet(s) and deal. In this way the player will be able to start a new game just by clicking on this button. When the first game has been finished (re-bet feature is applicable), the player will see the new Rebet button that shows the re-bet amount(s). This button has replaced the Deal button. If the player decides to place a new bet (clicks on a chip), the Rebet button will be replaced by the Deal button.
